Brain wave monitor study for children with epilepsy
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This study looks at how well two devices that measure brain activity work in children with certain types of epilepsy. It aims to improve how doctors monitor and care for these children.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your child must be younger than 16 years old.
- Your child must have a confirmed diagnosis of early onset epileptic encephalopathy or developmental and epileptic encephalopathy (DEE).
- The diagnosis must have been made before the child turned 2 years old.
- There must be no language barriers that would make it hard for you to talk with the study team.
- The Department for Child Protection and Family Support must not be involved in your child's care.

This study tests using a small, home-based EEG device to monitor brain activity over several weeks in people with hard-to-control seizures, rare epilepsies, or developmental and epileptic encephalopathies. The goal is to see if this method can better track seizures and improve care.
This study looks at whether continuous brain-wave monitoring can guide seizure care in sick children in the pediatric intensive care unit. It also studies how this approach may affect children’s thinking and behavior later.
This study uses a special brain scan (magnetoencephalography, or MEG) to look at brain activity in children with conditions like seizures, brain tumors, autism, and others. It may help doctors learn more about how these conditions affect the brain.
This trial looks at whether brief electrical pulses can help identify and change unusual brain wave patterns in people with hard-to-treat epilepsy. It may help improve how doctors map the brain before surgery.
This trial uses a special brain scan (magnetoencephalography) to look at brain activity in children whose seizures don't improve with medication. It may help doctors decide if surgery could be an option.
This study uses EEG (a harmless brain wave test) to monitor stroke patients in the hospital. It aims to learn more about brain activity after a stroke, which could help improve care.
